For large public corporations there is no "good and evil", there is only "punishable and evade-able".

And corporations have the attention span of three-year-olds. Remember when Trump 45 pulled the rug out from under federal law enforcement? And then it was game on? And then there was Biden 46. Who put it all back. Or would have had he not been coasting to a later in life stop. And then Trump 47 undid Biden's handiwork. So now would be the time to go wide open throttle and grab what you can.

Just in time for AOC 48.

So, sign up for two years of military service and get authorized leave for 4 days to play a video game? I guess if that really is the deciding factor to enlist, you probably are just the kind of person the army is looking for.

Technically this is a re-enlistment bonus, so they're not trying to attract new recruits but keep the ones they have... and if this is being touted as a re-enlistment bonus things must truly be dire.

The "King" sleeps on a pile of gold

Not really. The principal task of the investment industry is to take clients' cash and convert it into interest bearing contracts. Negotiable contracts, (collateral for loans, payment for goods and services). Even better, variable interest and term contracts to insure against inflation.

Only boomers want to be sitting on gold, based on my observation of all the gold coin tv ads targeting them.

It is very clear how to sustainably pay for - India isn't going bankrupt wiping fees off UPI.

The problem is that free UPI is infinitely better than Visa and Mastercard and Trump doesn't like it, so he creates problems for the biggest industrialists that fund the current Indian government i.e. Adani, so Modi has to find a way to make Adani happy again.

Something that doesn't find any mention in the reliable western media.

And this is the real reason so many vested interests are trying to kill cash worldwide... because the banks don't get a cut of every transaction made with cash. It's not about eliminating privacy (that might be a slight benefit for some), the real reason is far more insideous... it's that the rich aren't able to profit from it.
